Does Barack Obama really oppose gay marriage

[Torie]

It still puzzles me that folks freak more over the term "marriage" than the basket of rights and duties that attend marriage, with respect to which civil unions are essentially the equivalent. It is as if there is desire to give gays a second class labeling status as to their legal bond.  Rather an ugly sentiment actually.

I think he does, to be honest. I think he realizes that marriage is an institution that has been around for a long, long time, and that homosexual rights are also very important, but that gay marriage in and of itself is a temporary fad. Civil Unions, however, are a different story.

You honestly think Obama believes that gay marriage is a "temporary fad?"  Heck I give Obama more credit than that, and I am down on the man these days.  I am very disappointed in him.
